Capital One Cup final: Manchester City v Sunderland – in pictures

After an early goal, Sunderland's hopes for an upset were high. After a two goals in the early stages of the second half, they were deflated. By full time, and two goals later, they were torn to shred. Guardian sport photographer Tom Jenkins was on hand to capture all the action from Wembley Stadium

Nine minutes in and underdogs Sunderland unexpectedly take the lead. A great long ball from Adam Johnson finds Fabio Borini in the City box. A one-on-one confrontation with City keeper Costel Pantilimon sees the Italian steer the ball into the far corner

Just under 10 minutes after the second half begins and Yaya Touré equalises for City with a phenomenal strike well outside of the Sunderland box. He curls it into the top left corner, well out of reach of the keeper Vito Mannone, with just inches to spare to the posts

In the space of a single minute, City go from 0-1 down, to 2-1 up. After Sunderland regrouped for an attack on goal after Touré's goal, City again take possession and storm down to the Sunderland end, resulting in a wonderful strike from Samir Nasri curled around Marcos Alonso into the goal. Mannone didn't even move

As the game enters its 90th minute, with four minutes of extra-time left to play, Jesús Navas puts the final nail in Sunderland's coffin. A pass from Touré releases Navas on the right and the Spaniard is quick enough to beat Wes Brown to the ball, before finishing inside the near post
